2) Confirm defectives
- Any "suspected defective" cylinder that arrives at the defective yard, needs to be examined and if indeed defective it needs to be "confirmed as defective" from within the app screen
Once confirmed the state of the product will become "defective" and can be used for extraction of gas or to be sent to manufacturing for reparation/destruction.
